A rundown church used in the filming of 1999’s “The Blair Witch Project” near Burkittsville, Md., has now been incorporated into South Mountain State Park, the AP, via WTOP, reports.

The church in question, the Ceres Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, was part of a $785,000 transaction to preserve more than 31 acres adjacent to the South Mountain Civil War battlefield.

If you think back to the good ‘ole 1990s, “Blair Witch” created a made-from-scratch mythology about an evil witch who torments a bunch of Montgomery College film students lost in the woods. (When DCist saw the movie, we said, “Dumb asses, walk south a couple miles, you’ll hit the Potomac River; walk north, you’ll hit Interstate 70; walk east, you’ll hit farm estates with three-stall garages outside Frederick.”) Nevertheless, they disappeared … forever. A year later their film was found and it freaked out the movie-going public. Relive the magic on the official Blair Witch website.
